Keepin’ It Real

Raising my arm, I highlight the dark round
wet spot in my pit.
Pointing to my yellowing tooth, I make sure
that no one misses it.
Grabbing a roll around my middle, I show it
off to my new friends.
Gross right? Make a mental note, right now,
to not invite me over to dinner. Ever.
I do have an excuse. As I speak to women about my new book, Unsqueezed, I try to model what it looks like to keep it real. Instead of hiding my imperfections, or bleaching them, or paying big bucks to have them surgically suctioned out of my body, I go ahead and cut right to the chase.

Woman in the Mirror

About a year ago I was given the green-light to start
exercising again. I wasn’t really sure how I felt about this,
considering it had been 3 years since I had participated in
an “official” exercise program. At the onset of recovery, my
extremely malnourished body couldn’t handle it, so my
dietician and therapist put me on an exercise hiatus.
Fast-forward three years…now with a healthy mind and
body, I had permission to proceed.
Honestly, I had become quite used to the lack of exercise,
that I didn’t even want to entertain the thought of pulling
out the tanks and yoga pants again. You see, for the 22
years with ED, I had exercised because he had told me to.
And I didn’t do it in moderation. Oh no, not this over-achiever…. I was addicted. If I didn’t get a pre-determined amount of exercise in on a given day, I was a complete failure. Take a day off due to illness or extreme weather conditions, you ask? Never.
